  Speaker 3: I always say that. I was like, I don't want
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: white chocolate.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: It's not even chocolate. I like it, though.

• 4:20
  Speaker 2: entire set reeked of what was said to be spoiled milk,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: gym socks, or even swamp water. Gross, right? Real chocolate.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: There you go. Today's fascinating facts.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Swamp water is what I call my martinis.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Do they reek?

  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift, officially inducted in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Fame to do the honor, Brad Paisley, who she joked

  Speaker 1: during the speech that they had been estranged since he
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: filled her tour bus in 2007 with crickets.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: He filled her tour bus with crickets.

  Speaker 1: But what I really loved, Lainey Wilson, to honor Taylor, did.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Love story.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: First thing Taylor said in her speech was honoring Lainey.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: First of all, I want to say thank.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: You to Lainey Wilson, who I just think is one
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: of the coolest people in the world. For saying yes
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and doing that.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: And I've had her new single on repeat. It's supposed
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: to be in the best mood. It's called Kinda Love It.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Check it out.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: That new song that she speaks of?
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: First time she performed that song live was a couple
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: weeks ago when she was at Mohegan.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: So if you haven't seen that performance, it's up on
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: our Instacountry.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Of course it is, because you're on the ball. I
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: am being hit by the ball in the head. Wow.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Amanda Jo. Fantastic.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Now your feel-good story is coming up.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: He says with a big bite of bagel. Yeah, coming up,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: it's actually two shorter Feel Good Stories because they're about
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: marathoners and the amazing things one is about to do
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: and one has started doing. I will tell you about
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: them coming up in 15 minutes here at Country 92.5,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: assuming I still have a job. Time for today's Feel
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Good Stories. Both about marathoners. They're short, so I got
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: two in because they just happened to pop up today.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: And again, I have to preface this by saying I
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: don't get running, but I really admire those of you
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: that do, especially the devotion that some people have to running.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: So here's an example. This guy named Dave Oglovich, he
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: ran the New York City Marathon in 1976. That was
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the first year it started going through all five boroughs.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Had no idea, he said, how long he would keep
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: doing it. But on Sunday, that's when it happens, the
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: 82-year-old will return to Staten Island for his 50th New
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: York City Marathon.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: That's awesome. It's a street no one else can match
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: this year. He will walk with his stepdaughter, hopes to
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: finish in about eight hours.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: His best time ever was in 82 when he did
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: it in two hours and 15 minutes. Wow. Respectable, right?
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: That's a marathon. I can't even do half.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Listen to this. This British ultra marathoner, his name is
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: William Gouge. Gouge, Gouge, anyway. He's taking running the extreme.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: He's going to run 50 marathons across all 50 U.S.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: states in 24 days. Not one a day. He started
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: on Sunday. He ran three marathons in South Carolina and
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: North Carolina. Right? Three marathons in one day. And he
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: ain't doing the shorties, okay? But he is raising money
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: for a stand-up to cancer in honor of his mother.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: So the first day alone, he took in $ 30, 000.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: That's some serious run-maxing.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right? Oh, I know what she's doing. Why did
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: you say run-maxing?
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Because coming up in the news, dictionary.com has revealed their
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: word of the year, and I want to test you
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: on some trends.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Okay. And again, I admire you runners, you included.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: So do you want to run Hartford with me next year?
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: No, it's just not my jam. It never will be.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: That's what I always said, and then somebody asked me
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: to do it for charity years ago, and I was like, okay.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: This is fine.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: God bless you for it. Time for some winning. Toad's Place,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: the finale tour, the going, what do you call it?
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: The ending tour. He's done after this. Farewell tour. Farewell tour. Gosh,

• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Heather got through. She did the most popular costume of
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: all time. Not number one this year. So Amanda Jo
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: had this clue.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: It's from a movie.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Shoot her! Shoot her! What is she talking about?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: It is a dinosaur, definitely.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Yes! Okay! What a movie! It's called Find the Fake,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: and it's really simple. I have three weird headlines. Two
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: of them are going to end up being true, and
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: I will explain them. One of them I made up, though,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: and it's rare, but I got Amanda Jo yesterday. I'm
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: going for two in a row today.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Bring it. By the way, it's all about technology. Technology headlines.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: For example, number one, startup offering people $ 20 an hour
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: to walk dogs, robot dogs. Number two, AERISM debuts smart
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: underwear that can detect sensitive medical issues.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: What was the first word?
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: It's some underwear company, AERISM. Anyway, that's. Okay.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: You didn't make that one up.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: What?
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: You didn't make that one up. Keep going.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Why are you doing that? I mean, can I get
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: them all out?
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, keep going.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Listen to this one. Listen to this one. Singer in
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: AI-generated pop band quits the group because she's pregnant. I mean,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: come on. All those are loony, aren't they?
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: You either made up one or three.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: You know what? I can do this right now. I
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: made up two. You made up two? I made up two. Whoa!
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Boom!
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: I figured because you couldn't say the name of the company.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: No, I just got a mouth thing going on. Ah,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I got her again. This is glorious. Wow. Yeah, this star.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: And when I read the headline about walking robot dogs,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I'm like, that's what they do. They don't need a
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: walker poop, but it's literally just testing them. So they
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: put them through the paces in a real environment so
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: people will, for some reason, buy a robot dog. I
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: think it's ridiculous. And the other one is true, too.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: It's an AI-generated pop band. But this week, one of
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: the AI fake not real persons in the group quit
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: because she's with child. And the company explains it is
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: so hard. to keep social media going for all four
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: of them. They thought that was a good way for
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: her to exit and maybe return later with her AI children.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Come on, man. Where are my children? Where are my children?
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Here are my children right here. What's going on? Joke time!
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Ha ha ha!
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Which means somebody's gonna win what, Tessa? Four tickets to
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: the Fall Hartford Home Show. This Saturday and Sunday in
• 12:47

  Speaker 1: Wrong.

  Speaker 2: can say and it probably won't help you.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Gargle. Gargoyle.
